City nixes Kip’s Big Boy statue on Abrams

Gary Isett’s statue is still smiling, but he’s in the backyard now.

As the publicity mounted for the Kip’s Big Boy statue installation on Abrams Road after our initial story (TV, radio and the DMN all ran stories), I had a feeling it would be a matter of time before statue and property owner Gary Isett found himself talking with a City of Dallas code inspector.

Sure enough, that happened earlier this week; thanks to a couple of possible code violations associated with the installation, the Big Boy voluntarily vacated his spot at Abrams and Trammel.

There is a huge pink bunny in my neighbor’s yard at Easter time and all kinds of crap in people’s yards at Halloween and Christmas and it distracts me – I think that we should make a code to ban all those things. I hate to see neat and original stuff on the side of the road and take notice of them. It really messes up my day.

Just going to run this bit into the ground, aren’t you?

So good of Code Enforcement to make sure to take care of this matter and not the myriad of other issues that really need addressing by them.
